Australia & New Zealand Land Programs

Cultural Sydney

Become immersed in Sydney’s extraordinary Aboriginal culture for a glimpse into an ancient lifestyle that still flourishes today. Take the ferry to Goat Island and discover its significance to the Aboriginal people, who own it once again. Wander about the Royal Botanic Garden and the national park Ku-Ring-Gai Chase for an understanding of herbal medicines and how the indigenous people nurtured the land. Deepen your insight even further by browsing Aboriginal artwork and listening to Elders tell spiritual Dreamtime stories.

• 3 nights in Sydney
• Ferry to Goat Island for a tour
• Aboriginal Art Tour and afternoon tea
• Visit the Royal Botanic Garden
• Basin Track Aboriginal site tour
• Broken Bay Pearl Farm tour and oyster tasting
• Dreamtime Rocks Walking Tour

New Zealand’s Natural Wonders

Life is noticeably different beyond Auckland’s city limits. The pace is slower, the air exudes an aura of joy and nature isn’t shy about flaunting her wonders. It won’t take long to embrace the beauty, especially in the fertile farmlands, the ideal setting to savor a flight of wines at a boutique vineyard. It’s easy to lose yourself in natural environs such as Muriwai Beach, where colonies of seabirds ride the offshore updrafts. And what a rare treat to cruise across a deep cavern lake eerily illuminated by thousands of glowworms.

• 3 nights in Auckland
• Visit a gannet colony
• Tour, tasting and lunch at a local winery
• Glowworm Caves visit
• Select meals
• Ample free time to explore Auckland on your own in the evenings

Angkor Wat – From Singapore

The Angkor Archaeological Park offers a rare glimpse into the scale, power and architectural ingenuity of the Khmer empire that flourished in this Cambodian jungle setting until the 15th century. The ruins of Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument, may be the park’s star attraction but the Hindu-Buddhist temples at nearby Angkor Thom are just as staggeringly beautiful. The hundreds of serenely smiling stone faces at its Bayon Temple are particularly memorable, especially considering that they were carved with hand tools about 900 years ago.

• 2 nights in Siem Reap
• 1 night in Singapore
• Economy-class flights between Siem Reap and Singapore
• Sightseeing and entrance fees throughout the Angkor Archaeological Park
• Visits to Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom

Join the throngs of sun-kissed Australian surfers and catch some of the world's best waves on Australia's beaches.

SWOON OVER SYDNEY

Visit Australia and tour Sydney's urban attractions like the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Taronga Zoo. For outdoor fun, nap on the white sands of Bondi Beach or scale the magnificent rock formations of the Blue Mountains.

MEET MELBOURNE

Melbourne is a hipster haven and Australia's culture, coffee and sports capital. Grab a flat black (the Australian version of an Americano, with espresso and hot water) at Patricia on Little Bourke Street, then hire a car and start off on the Great Ocean Road, which will take you along sweeping views of Australia's southern coast.

HEAD TO THE OUTBACK

In the remote Northern Territory, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and see the famous dome-shaped red rock rising out of the Central Australian Desert. Or check out Kakadu National Park, where you can see ancient rock art at Nourlangie or hike to the hidden waterfalls at Motor Car, Twin or Jim Jim Falls.

TOWN AND COUNTRY

Get to know the different sides of Australia, from vibrant, modern cities to wild, untamed wilderness.

KING AMONG REEFS

Snorkel, dive and swim along the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef – you can even charter a glass-bottomed boat to stay dry while seeing the only living organism visible from outer space. The reef is accessible from places like Cairns, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Port Douglas in Queensland.

In Queensland, take a day trip to the surrounding tropical islands: check out Fitzroy Island and its National Park, where you can laze on the white sands of the coral beach or go bird-watching for emerald doves and white-bellied sea eagles. See the coloured sands at postcard-perfect Fraser Island, or explore the wild island state of Tasmania during your holiday.

PICK A BEACH

Explore Western Australia's Cape Le Grand National Park, which offers stunning coastline set against rolling heathlands filled with kangaroos. Check out Queensland's Gold Coast, where you'll find local favourite Nobby Beach (known colloquially as 'Nobby's'). Or get lost in Tasmania's Freycinet National Park, where pink granite cliffs overlook white-sand beaches and clear blue waves.

EXPEDITIONS DOWN UNDER SAY 'G'DAY' TO AN OUTBACK ADVENTURE

Choose your Australian holiday adventure and relax on a tropical island or one of thousands of beaches, hike in a remote national park or venture into the vibrant city.

SAMPLE SYDNEY

A sampler cruise from Sydney is a great way to experience both Australia's biggest city and an exciting cruise.

BE TANTALISED BY TASMANIA

Tasmania is an underrated Australian state that's home to Cradle Mountain, the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site and the eccentric Museum of Old and New Art among other things to do.

In northern Australia, be aware that stingers (dangerous jellyfish) swarm the seas in the summer, from approximately October to March.

Tipping is not customary in Australia.

The universal phone number for taxi services across the country is 131008.

HOW TO DINE DOWN UNDER

'Fair dinkum' – Aussie slang for 'authentic' or 'genuine' – Australian cuisine has been influenced by England, New Zealand and even Italy. However, there's nothing more Australian than throwing some steak and snags (sausages) on a barbie (barbecue) – no prawns allowed.

POPULAR PUB GRUB

There are two dishes to order at an Aussie pub: a chicken parmigiana (called a parmi Down Under) or a burger, which will usually come topped with Australian specialities like beetroot or pineapple. Of course, you can always go for a classic steaks: Porterhouses are popular in Victoria, while rump steaks are particularly beloved in New South Wales.

THE REAL BISCUIT

Australia has some delicious sweet treats, but it's perhaps best-known for perfecting the biscuit. Try Anzac biscuits with oats and golden syrup, lamingtons – a sponge square covered in chocolate and coconut – and Tim Tams, the local favourite brand of chocolate-covered biscuits.

IT'S PIE TIME

Meat pies – with a flaky pastry crust baked around a savoury filling of ground meat (typically beef or lamb) and spices – are a traditional Australian lunch or snack found in bakeries across the country. Another favourite is the Chiko Roll, similar to a large spring roll but filled with the signature Aussie ingredients of mutton, celery, barley, rice, carrots and spices.
